Wikipedia definition
3. Wakadoshiyori​The Wakadoshiyori, or "Junior Elders", were high government officials in 17th century Tokugawa Japan. The position was established around 1631, but appointments were irregular until 1662. The four to six Wakadoshiyori were subordinates to the Rōjū, or "Elders", and were responsible for a variety of duties. There were periods when the number of wakadoshiyori rose to 6 or 7 at one time. The wakadoshiyori ranked below the rōjū in status, but they ranked above the jisha-bugyō.
